Please join the ADSLA on Saturday, October 18th at 2:00 p.m. for a screening of the documentary "The Oviatt Building" produced by Marc Chevalier and Seth Shulman.

The untold story of downtown Los Angeles's first Art Deco jewel: the 1928 Oviatt Building and its opulent penthouse. Virtually a second home to Clark Gable, Errol Flynn and other male stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, the Oviatt Building housed L.A.'s finest haberdashery and catered to filmdom's titans. For eight decades, its glamorous and controversial history has been shrouded in mystery and clouded by misinformation . . . until now.

Full of long lost archival images and long forgotten events, this myth-busting documentary spans more than a century and interviews the men and women who shaped the Oviatt Building's turbulent history.

Tickets are $5 for members of ADSLA and American Cinematheque. For non-ADSLA or Cinematheque members, tickets are $10.00 general admission, seniors and students with ID are $8.00. Tickets available at Fandango . Simply type in "90028" in the theatre search box, then click on Egyptian Theatre, scroll down to Oviatt Building and follow the prompts. Tickets will also be available at the door, space permitting.
